Cast Bar — 5 troy oz · 999.5 fine silver
5 Troy Oz Cast
Silver Bar
Five troy ounces (155.517g) of 999.5 fine silver from ABC Bullion — Australia's largest privately-owned bullion dealer and LBMA-accredited refinery. A uniquely denominated retail silver bar: while most silver bars are measured in grams, the ABC Bullion 5oz is denominated in troy ounces — the same international unit used for gold, making it a natural companion to the 5oz gold cast bars for investors who track their precious metals in troy ounces. Product code SABC05.
The ABC Bullion 5 Troy Oz Cast Silver Bar (SABC05) is one of the most distinctive silver products in the Australian retail market. While virtually all silver bars are denominated in grams, the SABC05 is measured in troy ounces — the unit used for all gold trading. This makes it the natural silver companion to the ABC Bullion 5oz gold cast bars for investors who manage their precious metals holdings in troy ounces rather than metric weight.
Each bar is cast at ABC Bullion's Sydney refinery, stamped with the ABC rounded square logo, "5oz / FINE SILVER / 999.5," and individually serial-numbered. As an authorised ABC Bullion dealer, we supply every bar directly from the refinery with full provenance. We buy this bar back at 100% of the live spot price.
Investment-grade gold (≥99.5% Au) is GST-exempt under Australian law. Silver does not qualify — all silver bars attract 10% GST regardless of size, purity, or denomination. Key implications:
- Buy price: The price shown includes 10% GST. A full GST tax invoice is provided with every purchase.
- Sell price: When selling silver, you receive the ex-GST price. GST forms part of the effective buy-sell spread.
- CGT: Selling silver is a CGT event. If held more than 12 months, the 50% CGT discount applies to individuals.
- GST-registered businesses: May be able to claim input tax credits on purchase. Consult your tax adviser.
The vast majority of silver bars sold in Australia are denominated in grams — 500g, 1kg, 5kg. The ABC Bullion 5oz silver bar is different: it is denominated in troy ounces, the international unit of measure for precious metals trading, futures contracts, and spot pricing.
This matters for investors who:
- Track their gold and silver holdings in a combined troy-ounce total (e.g. "I hold 20 troy oz of gold and 50 troy oz of silver").
- Benchmark their precious metals against international spot prices, which are always quoted per troy oz.
- Hold ABC Bullion gold cast bars (1oz, 2oz, 5oz) and want a silver equivalent in the same denomination system.
- Want a bar format that is intuitively comparable to gold — 5oz gold, 5oz silver, same unit.
At 155.517g, the 5oz silver bar is lighter and more affordable than the 500g bar (500g), making it an accessible additional format alongside the gram-denominated range.
Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and sulfur compounds. Keep this bar sealed in its original wrapping, store away from rubber (which off-gasses tarnish-accelerating sulfur), and in a cool, dry environment. Tarnish is purely cosmetic — it does not affect silver content or resale value at reputable dealers.
Our allocated vault storage eliminates tarnish concerns entirely. First 3 months free with every purchase; 0.15% per annum thereafter, with full Lloyd's of London replacement-value insurance.
